Ping is a very useful utility used to determine the speed of a Network Connection. It establishes a socket connection with the given hostname and sends a Data Packet using ICMP Protocol

Yea, Ping is good but you can also use tracert in command mode to get what you need. This is good for speed testing too.

Yes... ...But if it finds the host it will automatically end...But for example uploading files we need to know the net connection speed through out end of our uploading........

I think it is not possible you to get the network connection speed by calling the ping utility. Because ping is giving the response from the server hit reply. So donot go with that ping functionality.

To get the Network connection speed, You need to get the network baud rate and calculate the total bytes per second.

In windows you can get by calling the API - getCommStatus(I dont know the exact command)

Try if any system commands available in C#.

thanks
